@DodgersBeat: @HanleyRamirez posting on Instagram saying Rancho coming soon. Still no date though. #Dodgers
Yeah pretty much. As long as guys like Kemp are stubbornly kept in crucial lineup spots and continue to produce zero, it's not going to matter. There is not even an attempt at trying something with this guy, just a 3/4 spot, which is destroying us when he's in either. I guess the move to batting second was a one-time shot, although moving him down to 5/6 might help him right now actually. Remember, not so long ago, when he came up with RISP how good you felt about it? Now, what do you feel? It's amazing how creative they are in finding ways to obtain the almost nightly loss... The Brewers announcers were commenting on the Dodger defense, and how inept it is; not only flat out errors, but not knowing what to do in the basics....like bouncers to the 1st baseman, and the pitcher getting over too late, etc. Sadly, it's all too true.
I agree, and the move to the #2 slot worked and it was only done twice if I remember correctly. Now that Ellis is back, #2 is taken. Kemp needs to be moved way down in the order. AGon, Ethier, and AJEllis infront of him makes more sense at this time. So yeah 6th spot sounds right.
I say it's at least worth a try. Quite honestly, Agon, although just a dead spot hopefully, is not flourishing in front of Kemp either. Put up Hanley.in the 3 spot or Ethier, or whoever. It might jump start Kemp, and he needs to cut down severely on his whiffs. He's on a record breaking pace, it looks. Give it a shot DBB. You have the most different lineups in MLB so far in 2013....what's the big deal? Damn boy, read the paper. MLB standings. Check it out, Hoosier.
